Agreed. I get the love and all but turning something simple into something more complex for the sake of minimalism is something that baffles me. I can press 1 button and get the number 1. From memory, reflex. Why would I want to turn that into a multi level/button action?

I was going to more fully argue the intention, but since OP agreed with your assessment, I'll just give an anecdote that minimalism isn't a factor for me. I like 40s because I don't have to move my hands. It's more comfortable and I'm more accurate. I do software development and accounting work. I'm not fighting my keyboards at all. It truly is the most efficient way for me.

OP's keyboard is 12u though, and I personally think that anything under 13u forces you to fight the layout, particularly with development work.

I have to agree with you aswell. 12u is quite the challenge sometimes but I just love the look too much. Never had a 13u but I put FF here on my Neko which is 14u: https://imgur.com/a/Zikcn6A

It is more comfortable but switching back and forth messes with my muscle memory when hitting enter or backspace.

I get you. Minimalism drove me that way. And I'm surprised how fast I learned to accomodate to that new layout. I type as fast as before, including numbers and punctuation.
